Delhi model murder: Prime accused Imran arrested after encounter
Police apprehended Imran, a suspect in Muskan's murder, after a manhunt across three states. The accused sustained a gunshot injury during his arrest and is now receiving hospital treatment. Imran allegedly attacked Muskan with a knife after an argument broke out at her home. He had previously harassed and stalked the victim, and the murder is believed to be pre-planned.
Delhi-based 21-year-old woman Muskan was discovered murdered in her Tilak Nagar home. Police apprehended her suspected killer, Imran, after a cross-state manhunt. The encounter resulted in Imran sustaining a gunshot wound before being taken into custody. Imran and Muskan were acquainted for about 1.5 years, working together at a gym.
On the day of the murder, Imran entered Muskan's home around 5:40 pm, allegedly attacking her with a knife, causing three stab wounds and strangling her. His motive was reportedly her relationship with another man. Muskan's family had complained about Imran's harassment in July, but the matter wasn't formally reported. The incident was allegedly premeditated, with Imran bringing a knife to the house.
CCTV footage shows Imran's hurried departure, and drug addiction was found to be a concern. Further investigation includes probing a hotel meeting between Imran and Muskan a week before the murder.
